Have you heard the original voice? That's what says "Down syndrome" about the character. It wasn't even the slightest bit subtle

The original voice was because the VA thought she was a boy.

If no one knows that the voice is supposed to telecast "Down syndrome," including the voice actor, then does the voice really telecast "Down syndrome?"

If people listen/look at it and think "this pony has down syndrome/a mental disorder"

then yes.

Which is okay until you make her the butt of a joke and have the main characters get angry at her.

especially notable when even the boy ponies don't sound like that.

If not all people listen/look at it and think that, then what does that mean? Must we err on the side of those who believe the character to have a mental disorder? If so, why?

because if one person with a cause thinks it then they must be right and shame on anyone else for thinking different they're obviously just ableist and in denial/s

Who are you singling out, here?

Just pointing out that one person thinking something does not make it objectively so. It's one thing to say "she sounds a lot like she has Downs" and another to say "I say she has Downs. It doesn't matter what the VA intended. Because I said so".

That said I did think the voice change was actually good idea.
